The article highlights the challenges faced by E., a Nicaraguan journalist, as the Trump administration ends humanitarian protections for over half a million immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. After receiving termination notices, E. recalls the perils of her homeland, where journalists face state-sanctioned threats. A recent Supreme Court ruling allows the government to proceed with this revocation amidst ongoing legal challenges, leaving many, including E., vulnerable to deportation despite prior legal protections.
E. described the urgency of her reporting: 'If you're on the list, they will get you. The only thing to do is to run.'
Sung stated the revocations are 'unprecedented,' as thousands of lives are poised to shift from legal status to potential deportation.
E.'s journey as a journalist reflects resilience, noting, 'I have friends who wanted to stay and face justice. I told them, 'No! Go! Get out!''
The Supreme Court's ruling allowing revocations has left many like E. in limbo, as the Biden-era program’s termination threatens their safe status.
